Friday Afternoon Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Mostly cloudy skies as well as scattered showers and thunderstorms dominated the Big Country today. This led to temperatures remaining well below average for this time of year. Highs were mainly in the low 80s, but Brownwood managed to reach 88.

The low pressure trough that we have been talking about all week will remain in the southern portion of the state tomorrow before moving off to the west on Sunday. We also have a weak cold front approaching from the north. This front will likely stall and just miss us to the northeast. There is a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow and a 20% chance on Sunday. Highs should be in the mid 80s to around 90 this weekend.

We will have a 20% chance for rain during the next work week. It still looks like an upper level low will develop and cut off from the main jet stream flow. It should be in the Lone Star State, but at this time it is difficult to tell exactly where it will be since the low hasn't developed yet. Highs are expected to be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Have super Saturday!
